Note: At Vicki So's request I'm putting up the LiveJournal link (livejournal dot com/community/1sentence/57168) to where the original entry is kept. Which makes me sad to know that some of you won't be reading beyond this chapter due to all of the sentences being there in one go. You can make this up to me by commenting there! Also, please feel free to give out any concrit you have; believe me, it helps.

Zuko is proud of the advances of his nation and
brags about them in great detail; Katara, in turn, chatters about her

father's gentle warmth) and he has become noticeably silent.

Gift
What he wants is the Avatar for his birthday (hog-tied
and shipped off to his father), but he doubts telling her that will
earn him anything more than a smack; so he claims a kiss instead
(even though capturing the Avatar is what he really wants…
really).

Smile
There is a pleasant pressure in her abdomen that serves
to remind her of the old butterflies that would accompany his quiet
smiles and she lays her husband's hand over it to prompt another
such smile to the surface.

Innocence
If Aang had known what the future had in store for
them (for Katara) he would never have even joked about Zuko and the
necklace; ignorance, you see, is not always bliss.
